A high jumper representing the cypro Jelena Kulichko23, has had enough of the United States.
– It’s dangerous, food is really bad and there are some things I don’t like. Thanks to the United States, but I will continue, Kulichenko announced after the Tokyo World Cup finals.
Kulicheno studied psychology at the University of Georgia and won three university NCAA series championships. Now his studies are over.
The University of Georgia is located in the city of Athens, with just under 130,000 inhabitants.
– University in life has student friends, athletics and everything is fun. When only athletics remains, it is a small city with nothing to do.
– It’s really boring.

As a professional
Kulicheno, the US Universities Sports Series, praised the country to heaven. However, he feels that it is better for the high jumper to develop and seek professionalism in Europe.
– All commercial, high -quality high -jump competitions are in Europe.
– The university was a wonderful experience, but to get to the other level, I can’t stay in the student city.
Kulicheno finished seventh in the Paris Olympics with 195 cents. The Tokyo World Cup finale exceeded 193.
According to him, the next cents are up.
– This is not that much, Kulicheno said and put his fingers about one inch apart.
– But then the head gets mixed up when it comes to thinking that it is higher than my own record.
Kulichenko’s record is 197.
Not to Russia
Kulicheno was born in Russia and represented the country until 2021. He competed as a neutral athlete for the last times as Russia was closed to international sports due to a state -led doping program.
Eventually, Kulichko got a passport of Cyprus and began to represent a new country. The dad’s father has a money business in Cyprus.
Kulichko refused to reveal which country he was moving.
Is Russia an option?
– I don’t think it’s an option.
Kulicheno said he would move “surely” to Europe.
– It’s just a matter of time. I’ve talked to a couple of coaches. I will definitely settle for Europe and continue my career there.
